Eh, I can't say I really mind either way. The old ones had their charm, the new ones still look perfectly fine, I don't think I feel particularly strongly about either.
When they compared the old vs new ones I think the old ones has that old DBD gritty style and the new ones look so "commercial" and too "modern" looking if you will. Even tho the game has lost the horror aspect pretty heavily nowadays, having the old ones would still feel good I think and would suit the game better.
i dont like the new potraits, everyone looks greasy and stiff. I dont care enough but it was such a pointless change. Like the new doctor portrait is the most egregious example. It’s so bad that it’s funny. Also what happened to my boy david
For the most part I'm ambivalent. I like the new ones fine, but there are a few where I preferred the old portrait and it really lost something in transition (Myers and Dwight are the biggest offenders off the top of my head.) Also don't like Artist's new portrait much.

I'll have to check it out, thanks for the link. They've definitely had some portraits that have gone from threatning and scary to goofy, cornball, and meme territory.

I mean have they really gotten noticably better/worse?

Many argue that the new ones are worse. I recommend you to check this Reddit thread, that's where I began thinking and made this forum thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/deadbydaylight/comments/1dut1hg/biggest_downgrade_in_dbds_history/

Yes. Whoever was responsible for old character portraits did an awesome job
The new ones just look like fan made
They have gotten noticeably worse, yes. They don't even look "official" anymore.
I'm… neutral at best. Some were a distinct downgrade, imo.
A petition to get them back would be great. I think many would sign it.
